Children can be such monsters. After a group of would-be criminals kidnap the 12-year-old ballerina daughter of a powerful underworld figure, all they have to do to collect a $50 million ransom is watch the girl overnight.
In an isolated mansion, the captors start to dwindle, one by one, and they discover, to their mounting horror, that they’re locked inside with no normal little girl.
From Radio Silence—the directing team of Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett behind the terrifying modern horror hits Ready or Not, Scream (2022), and last year’s Scream VI—comes a brash, bloodthirsty new vision of the vampire flick.
Universal‘s Abigail was written by Stephen Shields (The Hole in the Ground, Zombie Bashers) and Guy Busick (Scream franchise, Ready or Not). The executive producers are Ron Lynch and Macdara Kelleher.
The film stars Melissa Barrera (Scream franchise), Dan Stevens (Gaslit), Kathryn Newton (Ant-Man and The Wasp: Quantumania), William Catlett (Black Lightning), Kevin Durand (Resident Evil: Retribution), and the late Angus Cloud (Euphoria) as the kidnappers and Alisha Weir (Roald Dahl’s Matilda the Musical) as Abigail.
The film is produced by William Sherak (Scream franchise, Ready or Not), Paul Neinstein (Scream franchise; executive producer, The Night Agent), and James Vanderbilt (Zodiac, Scream franchise) for Project X Entertainment, by Tripp Vinson (Ready or Not, Journey 2: The Mysterious Island) and by Radio Silence’s Chad Vilella (executive producer Ready or Not and Scream franchise).
